Vegan White Chocolate Watermelon Panna Cotta is an amazing dessert for the summer party. This delicious and festive recipe might seem complex, but this Vegan Panna Cotta uses simple ingredients and can be made the day before.
It looks like a slice of watermelon and is flavored with matcha and beautyblend powder.
Ingredients and tips for making this Vegan Panna Cotta:
- Coconut milk, full fat from a can. Make sure it is at room temperature so it hasn’t separated. If it has, it’s easy to fix. Simply give it a good stir.
- Almond milk, my favorite milk to bake with! But feel free to use any kind of milk you have available.
- Vegan white chocolate, use a good quality chocolate. For non vegan, you can use regular good quality white chocolate.
- Maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice. Make sure to taste before adding any sweetener, some white chocolates can be really sweet.
- Matcha powder, for the green part of this watermelon
- Beauty blend, pink pitaya powder or any other freeze-dried pink fruit powder can be used.
- Agar agar powder, it is important that you use powder and not flakes then it won’t set because you need a lot more
- Vanilla paste, I buy a small jar of this and keep it in the fridge. I prefer this flavour and the real freaks of vanilla bean seeds. You can substitute for vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract.
